Odpowiedzialność właściciela nieruchomości za prowadzone na niej nielegalne roboty geologiczne — glosa krytyczna do wyroku Naczelnego Sądu Administracyjnego z 16.05.2021 r. (II GSK 1195/20)

According to the Supreme Administrative Court, Art. 143 paragraph 3 of the Geological and Mining Act (GMA) means that if it is not established who, without the required decisions, carries out prospective or exploration activity or mines an amber deposit, the increased fee for such violation of the law should be imposed on the landowner. This assessment is incorrect, as there are no grounds for interpreting this provision of the GMA in the manner described above. Furthermore, the sanction for illegal performance of geological works and the sanction for illegal mining are different. The Supreme Administrative Court also failed to notice that the said "increased fee" is de facto an "administrative fine" within the meaning of section IVa of the Code of Administrative Procedure, and therefore the decisions concerning it must be made taking into account the requirements provided for in Art. 189a et seq. of the above-mentioned code. Although the NSA revoked all judgments in this case, it erroneously ruled on the liability of the property owner for the consequences of actions performed without the consent and knowledge of the latter.
